Actually Musk did say that
Actually Musk did say that because of the pent up demand for $35K Model 3s from the original hundreds of thousands of buyers who put down a deposit long ago would likely postpone new orders of the base car to the end of June. But I agree that Tesla's marketing needs to admit these points openly on their website. And further, I agree that their gas savings price estimates for MSRP are misleading, especially considering how many Model 3 buyers are moving up from economy cars rather than SUVs and pickup trucks that get crappy gas mileage. But seeing that every missed promise results in Tesla stock short sellers releasing 50 new online articles about how this latest misstep or text means that Tesla is going under tomorrow, I can understand how Tesla would try and pitch the happy, successful marketing view that all is well. But there are enough people out there who want to see Tesla succeed, and simply telling them the honest truth in texts and on Tesla's website would bring about renewed trust and more loyal customers in the long run.
